Baby Tatum

I'll let the blog speak for itself. This is the story of the three month odyssey my friends have gone through with the diagnosis, decline and ultimate death of their beautiful little one. Heather, who writes it, is an amazing woman. Her family is amazing. It is worth taking time to read through their story which is still ongoing.

Changes

We've moved.
Alphy lost his job again (because he's "too introverted for the direction the company is headed").
Matthew is almost potty trained.
Jamie broke her arm.
We have a garden that changes every day.
Angela, Jamie and Matthew love playing in the dirt. Oh wait, that isn't a change :-)


Those are just a few of the changes in our lives recently.

It's all coming back.

The wonderful lady who has been a counselor, photographer, and a friend to many, many families who have lost little ones, has just lost her seventh child. She got involved in Common Bonds and the Angel Babies programs because she lost her oldest at 18 months from a seizure disorder. Six children and 18 years later, she lost her youngest from the same disorder. Baby Tatum made it through her first year before her little body couldn't take it anymore.

I have been reading her blog over time and each post brings back a little more of the pain and memories associated with losing Hayden. At the same time, it has brought me more comfort and healing just reading about the tender mercies of the Lord experienced by Tatum's family.

I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us. The Atonement will heal all our wounded hearts. We will be together again.
